DISPENSING nnvrcn.

'- Application filed April 22,

This invention relates to a dispensing device designed primarily for use in the method of manufacturing of anv article of food as set forth in my application Serial No.;103,94c9, filed Apr. 22, 1926, but it is to be understood that a dispensing device, in accordance with this invention, can be employed for any purposes, for which it is found applicable, and the invention has for its object to provide, in a manner as here inafter set forth, a device of the class referred to for dispensing bulks ofliquid dough into hot frying medium therefor.

A further object, of the invention is to. provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of the class referred to for dispensing therefrom bulks of liquid dough of predetermined size to be acted upon by a frying medium for the dough or otherwise for dropping predetermined sized bulks of liquid dough into a' frying medium therefor.

Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of the class described, which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, compact, thoroughly eficient in its use, conveniently operated, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in. view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically describedand illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications I can be resorted to which fall within the throughout the several views:

scope of the claims hereunto appended In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts Figure 1 is a top plan. view of a dispensing device in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a section on line 2'2,Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an inverted plan' thereof."

Figured is an inverted plan view of the controlling valve. 7 V c Figure 5 is a cross sectional view or modified formof controlling valve.

The dispensing "device as illustrated is providedwith means for simultaneously dispensing four bulks of liquid dough, but it is to be'understood-that the number of bulks' dispensed can be increased-or decreased.

The device includes a, pair; of superposed,

spaced, stationary shallow receptacles, referred togenerally by the reference char? acters 1 and 2. p The receptacle 1 consists of a provided atits top with a right angularly disposed continuous rim 4,. The recep tacle 1 further includes a bottom 5 formed with hollow equi-distant spaced openings 6 providing outlets for a series of containers 7. The containers 7 are of greater height than the body portion 3, .are open at the as the body. portion 3 of the receptacle l.

The body portion 8 has projecting from its top thereof a right angularly disposed concludes a bottom 10 formed with a series of openings, 11 which are spacedequi-distant with respect to each other and provide dischargepoints for the dough. The openings 7 if i 1,618,118

The receptacle 2 further in- 11 are so disposed with respectto the openings6 asto beflpositioned in the same are as thearc of these. latter. That is to say the aswell as the openings 11, but with the openings 6 are arrangedin a circular row openings 6 alternately disposed with respect 7 to the openings 11.

The rim 1 as well as the rim 9 is apertured and the apertures of-one rim aline with the apertures in the. other rim. The apertures in the rim 4 are indicated at 12 and the aper-l fast devices 14: are employed for fixedly consaid hold fast devices extend through the tures in the rim 9' are indicated at 13. Hold heating the receptacles l and 2 together, and

openings 12 and 13,'and each consists ofa,

face of the rim 9 and the nuts carried by the bolts are positioned to abut against the upper face of the rim 4, and by this arrangement, when, desired, the receptacles land 2 can be disconnected from each other. c

Interp'osed between the botton1s'5 and 10 is a controlling valve 15, preferably icon-i headed bolt provided with a clamping nut. The heads of the bolts abut against the lower structed of wood, and having a bevelled edge ;v 16 which rides against the inner face of the body portion 8 of the receptacle The lO-of the receptacle 2.; from the valvelii and through anopening vthe bottoms tioal axis or jpivot Alnopening 20 1s valve 15 maintains the receptacles 1 and 2 in spacedrelation The valve15- is formed with series. of: equi-distant openings18 so disposed that when they register with the openings 6 the valve 15will closethevopenings 11, but when the openings 18 register with the openings 11, the valve 15 will close the opening 6. The openings 18 provide what may. be termed pocketsv for the reception of bulks of liquid dough received from the containers 7; V

' The valve 15 iis hiftably mounted between -and'6, and swingsupon averprov-ided in the valve for the passage of the bolt 19. The bolt 1 9 c-arries a securing nut 21 on its upper end which abuts against" the upper faceof the bottom 5-of the receptacle 1.

The-endwalls 26 and 27 of'tlie slot 2-l'provides stops'for arresting the shifting movement of the valve 15 in either direction and further-provides means to cause theregistration of theopenings 18 with the opening G and-the registration of the openings 18- with the openings 11.

A handle member-28 projects laterally from the rims 1' and 9 and which is employed for suspendingthe dispensing device-over the frying medium for the bulks of dough which aredropped into said-medium or said I bulks of dough can be dropped at any other The topdesirable point. -The*handlemember 28 abuts against the body portion ofthe receptaclel' and said liandle member is fixedly secured to the rims a; and9by certain of the hold-fastdevices 14.

In Figure l of the drawings amodified.

It will be assumed that. the dispensing device is in the position as shown inFigure 2 and when in such positionthevalve closesthe openings 6. Thecontainershave been supplied with a liquid dough. When the valve is shifted in one direction the openings 18 are brought to register withthe openings 6, and'when in suchposi tion, thevalve closes When the openings 1Sregliquid doughtheopeningsll: ister'with the openings 6', the is supplied into each said-openings 18.
